Acts 18:10

18:10 because I am with you, and no one will assault ¹  you to harm ²  you, because I have many people in this city.”

Acts 13:35

13:35 Therefore he also says in another psalm, ³  ‘You will not permit your Holy One ⁴  to experience ⁵  decay.’ ⁶ 

Acts 20:26

20:26 Therefore I declare ⁷  to you today that I am innocent ⁸  of the blood of you all. ⁹ 

Acts 22:18

22:18 and saw the Lord ¹⁰  saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’

[18:10]  ¹ tn BDAG 384 s.v. ἐπιτίθημι 2 has “to set upon, attack, lay a hand on” here, but “assault” is a contemporary English equivalent very close to the meaning of the original.

[18:10]  ² tn Or “injure.”

[13:35]  ³ tn Grk “Therefore he also says in another”; the word “psalm” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[13:35]  ⁴ tn The Greek word translated “Holy One” here (ὅσιόν, {osion) is related to the use of ὅσια (Josia) in v. 34. The link is a wordplay. The Holy One, who does not die, brings the faithful holy blessings of promise to the people.

[13:35]  ⁵ tn Grk “to see,” but the literal translation of the phrase “to see decay” could be misunderstood to mean simply “to look at decay,” while here “see decay” is really figurative for “experience decay.”

[13:35]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Ps 16:10.

[20:26]  ⁵ tn Or “testify.”

[20:26]  ⁶ tn Grk “clean, pure,” thus “guiltless” (BDAG 489 s.v. καθαρός 3.a).

[20:26]  ⁷ tn That is, “that if any of you should be lost, I am not responsible” (an idiom). According to L&N 33.223, the meaning of the phrase “that I am innocent of the blood of all of you” is “that if any of you should be lost, I am not responsible.” However, due to the length of this phrase and its familiarity to many modern English readers, the translation was kept closer to formal equivalence in this case. The word “you” is not in the Greek text, but is implied; Paul is addressing the Ephesian congregation (in the person of its elders) in both v. 25 and 27.

[22:18]  ⁷ tn Or “Jesus”; Grk “him.” The referent (the Lord, cf. v. 19) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
